Sapphire RX 7800 XT Nitro+ 16GB Graphics Card Review

Power & Temperatures

For an area that does make a difference, we booted up F1 22 for an hour long loop to see exactly how the card performs under a prolonged gaming session in terms of temperatures and cooling performance.

It’s here where we can see that in F1 during our hour-long stress test, the GPU temperature came in at 64 degrees max, but mainly hovered around the 62-degree mark, with a hot spot of 85 degrees max. The memory junction temperature maxed out around 80 degrees and our core clock managed to sit around 2660MHz, though did have moments where it rose to just under 2700MHz. The big thing is the fan speed, which didn’t push above 1200 RPM for the most part, but actually sat around 1,000 RPM with some dips down to 850 RPM at certain points all while pulling 273 Watts.
